You Activated My Podcast!

A weekly recap show covering Yu-Gi-Oh!, the best early-00's anime based on a card game marketed to 7-to-14-year-olds.

  • You De-Activated My Podcast!

    Greetings, duelists!

    As you might guess from the title, we're putting the show on an indefinite hiatus. Our goal has always been to make the show for fun, and recently felt it slipping closer and closer into "obligation" territory, so we're taking a step back for a little bit to figure out how to make it fun again.

    Until next time, take care of yourselves and each other, and keep dueling the good duel!

  • Exodia's Eleven

    Itā€™s a dark night in a city that knows its way around a duel. One forbidden monster and his two disembodied arms need money fast. What follows is the thrilling (?) end to the first half of ENTER THE TASK DUNGEON.

    Also, this week Jimmy and Tyler discuss two bonkers episodes of Yu-Gi-Oh, the ascension of Noahā€™s Ark, and the birth of that one Joey meme.

    PRIMATE EMERGENCY ESCAPE SEQUENCE

    Itā€™s the new year, and weā€™re back with a new episode! Join us to learn about who weā€™re blocking from Jimmy Wins 4, gasp at the trilling saga of Shaka the Orc, and swoon with us at the handsome visage of BLUE EYES WHITE TRAIN.

    BLUE. EYES. WHITE. TRAIN.

    Later on, High Commissioner Lauren joins us for a Task Dungeon task that blows up in our faces!

    Into the Hudgensverse: The 2020 Duelmas Special

    A Merry Duelmas to all, and to all a goodā€¦ switch?

    This week, we watched the Netflix original movie The Princess Switch, starring Vanessa Hudgens AND Vanessa Hudgens! Join us as we wander through the impenetrable labyrinth posed by the movieā€™s disparate scenes, demand justice for Hot Kevin, struggle to remember anything that happened mere moments ago, and dive deeper still into THE HUDGENSVERSE!

    Duel What Thou Wilt

    On the twelfth day of Duelmas, Noah Kaiba gave to me:

    Twelve monsters fighting,

    Eleven dragons flying,

    Ten traps a-trapping,

    Nine harpie ladies,

    Eight dark magicians,

    Seven millennium items,

    Six spells a-casting,

    AND HE KIIIIIIIIILLED THE BIG FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE!

    A merry Duelmas to all, as we reach the end of a particular gruesome era of Yu-Gi-Oh, and descend into what Iā€™m told is about to be even more bonkers.

    Later, we make some holiday treats with the High Commissioner!

    Five Guys Tristan Disguise

    You know, of all the body-snatching movies out there, very few of them focus on what happens when multiple people snatch the same body, then need to play a card game against children. If nothing else, Iā€™m so glad that Yu-Gi-Oh could bring this clearly underserved story to the massesā€¦

    Ah, who am I kidding, this episode blows chunks.

    Join Jimmy and Tyler for a discussion of the first two parts of ā€œMerger of the Big 5ā€, two episodes that nearly made Tyler sick, and continue to disappoint Jimmy to his very core. Will we ever figure out who exactly Noah is? What are the actual rules around Deck Masters? Why arenā€™t Tea, Duke, and Serenity doing anything useful???

    Later, High Commissioner Lauren joins us for a business lesson like no other!

    Your Dad and Your Duncle

    Itā€™s Turkey Day, and a lot of you are probably finding creative ways to safely spend it around loved ones. We wanted to bring you this weird, silly episode as an excuse to put in headphones for a while, and focus on yourself. You earned it! Donā€™t worry, your Dad and your Duncle said it was OK. šŸ‘šŸ˜Ž

    Double Monkey Noogie Attack

    As we venture further into the cyberverse with Yugi and the gang, Tyler unveils Jimmy Wins 4, an online game for everyone! Then, join us as we discuss baby noises, Noahā€™s revelations, Kaibaā€™s Goodfellas impressions, and all the ways in which Mokuba is like a small bird.

    Later, High Commissioner Lauren joins us for a short celebration, and a body-snatching task with a shocking twist!

    Tyler's Keyboard Mistake

    Weā€™re back, and Tyler spins a plotz-worthy tale of woe before we jump into an episode all about this great big (virtual) world of ours. Well, itā€™s about that and family, but the important part is that moment where we reenact the entire plot of Gravity but replace Sandra Bullock with Blue Eyes White Dragon.

    Later, High Commissioner Lauren joins us for a high fantasy task dungeon quest! Whatā€™s a little pretend regicide between friends?

    Tristan Does An UwU

    Happy Halloween! I think Iā€™ve edited most of the curse out of this episode, but your mileage may vary. It took three wireless networks, one of our computers completely rebooting, and a blood sacrifice to record this one, so thatā€™s how my weekā€™s gone! Join us as we go to the opera, explore a yep-thatā€™s-deffo-haunted ā€œhouseā€, and finally dig into our favorite episode so far this season.

    Later, High Commissioner Lauren joins us for a Task Dungeon that sees our monsters sparking joy and tidying up what might be an actual dungeon.

    I Scream, You Scream, Nesbitt is Starscream

    Gadzooks! The devilish Nesbitt has transformed himself into some kind of platonic ideal of a robot, and these youths must vanquish him!

    Join us on our adventures backwards and forwards over the last century, ranging from the bygone era of radio, to a futuristic duel over a vat of acid (which somehow includes Joan of Arc?), and back again to the Oregon Trail.
